This news release presents data on property transactions based on final deeds of sale and promise of sale agreements (‘konvenji’) registered with the tax authority. The qualifier 'period of registration’ common to the tables refers to such registration. Basing the data on the period when the final deed of sale or promise of sale agreement is registered with the tax authority, rather than when it is signed, is considered to produce more timely information. 2. The scope of this release follows the classification of the administrative data source, and includes only those transactions classified as ‘residential’ by the source. The data presented covers the following property types: airspace, boathouse, bungalow, farmhouse, flat/apartment, garage, garden, house, maisonette, penthouse, plot of land, semi-detached villa, terraced house, ‘terran’, urban tenement, and villa. 3. Excluded are transactions classified as ‘commercial’, comprising business premises and warehouse/storeroom, and those classified as ‘other’, a category that incorporates car space, field, grave and redemption of ground rent, amongst others. 4. Therefore, deeds/agreements relating to land for residential purposes (‘plot of land’) are included, while those pertaining to land for non-residential purposes (‘field’) are not. 5. Only deeds/agreements relating to the sale of property, which also includes sale by auction (‘subasta’) and sale after assignment of rights, are considered. Therefore, cessions, donations and exchanges, amongst others, are not included. 6. In the light of notes 2, 3, 4 and 5, this release must be viewed as a sub-set of all the property transactions and activities registered with the tax authority that take place during a given period. 7. The residential property transactions considered are not limited to households, but may also involve other economic agents, including companies. 8. The regions incorporating localities in Tables 3 and 5 correspond to the location of the purchased property, not to the place of residence of the buyer or seller. 9. To achieve consistency, the methodological concepts used are aligned to the extent possible with the House Price Index concepts. 10. Users are reminded of several factors which might inhibit comparability between data on final deeds of sale and promise of sale agreements. These differences include: a) the time lag between promise of sale agreements and final deeds of sale; b) certain property being sold without a promise of sale agreement; and c) some promise of sale agreements falling through before the final contract is signed. 11. Data is provisional and subject to revisions, which may arise following updates in the source data. 12. More information relating to this news release may be accessed at: Classification of Regions based on Property Prices: https://metadata.nso.gov.mt/classificationdetails.aspx?id=Classification%20of%20Regions%20based%20on%20Pr operty%20Prices A longer time series is available in Annexes A and B in the Excel version of news release: 069/2021. 13. References to this news release are to be cited appropriately. 14.

    22nd July 2021 Hon. Dr Clayton Bartolo Minister for Tourism and Consumer Protection RE: Malta Tourism Authority (MTA) Design Contest for Marsaskala As concerned citizens of Marsaskala we feel the need to write this letter to ensure that our worries about the ‘regeneration’ of our locality are taken into consideration. We feel we are being left in the dark regarding the many plans and developments in store for many parts of Marsaskala. We would not like to see these changes take place as we believe they will not benefit the residents and will not serve to attract more tourists to our village. In particular, we have strong reason to believe that the recently launched Malta Tourism Authority (MTA) Design Contest for Marsaskala was simply put in place to further certain business interests with complete disregard of the whole population at large. Almost a year ago, the mayor announced a sub-committee for the regeneration of Marsaskala. The people forming this sub-committee were chosen by the mayor himself, and for over two years, had been meeting and working on a variety of proposals for Marsaskala behind closed doors and in liaison with Infrastructure Malta and the MTA. This sub-committee was chaired by Mr Ray Abela. Other members included his cousin, Mr Eric Abela, with business interests in the Marsaskala square and surroundings, Mr Joseph Farrell, also with business interests in the Marsaskala square, Ms Angele Abela, head of a Minister’s secretariat, and the mayor himself. Angele Abela and Joseph Farrell left the sub-committee soon after its creation.

  • Assessment ‘A Strong Sense of Efficacy Enhances Human Accomplishment and Personal Well-Being in for Many Ways
    time flies ……………..1 ISSUE: 4 July 2014 clear and shared Success Criteria ..... 2 professional development sessions and upskilling . ........ 3 Embedding afl within article writing …… ..4 testimonials ............. 6 a final note ………….8Assessment ‘A strong sense of efficacy enhances human accomplishment and personal well-being in for many ways. People with high assurance in their capabilities approach difficult tasks as challenges to be mastered rather than as threats Learning to be avoided. They set themselves challenging goals and maintain strong commitment to them, becoming deeply engrossed in learning, and heightening and sustaining their efforts in the face of failure. (Bandura, 1994, p.71) Time flies! Dear Colleagues, I started off this newsletter with a quotation by Bandura about efficacy because every individual should be given the opportunity to develop this characteristic. I came across a picture showing a cat looking into a mirror which reflected the image of a lion instead of that of a cat. This made me think. What does every learner see when she/he looks into the mirror? Is the mirror reflecting the image of a failure or of a person who believes that with the right instructions, she/he can do anything? Perceiving achievement helps the learner understand that she/he is capable of moving ahead in the learning continuum. This is possible if the learners are taught how to use the right tools to be able to drive their learning forward. CLEAR AND SHARED SUCCESS CRITERIA Anthony Satariano - Head of Department Primary (Assessment) In our last issue we had discussed the importance of sharing the learning intention of the lesson.

  • A Newsletter of the Malta Study Center the MALTA STUDY CENTER at The
    Fall 2017 A Newsletter of the Malta Study Center THE MALTA STUDY CENTER at the Dear Melitensians, Valletta houses some of the richest archival collections in the Mediterranean. Although the Archives of the Order of Malta in the National Library stand out as the preeminent example of this wealth in documents and history, several other smaller, less well-known archives detail this history of Malta and the Mediterranean in intimate detail. Chief among these are the confraternal archives found in Valletta. Th ese repositories record the charitable works and donations of their members dating back to the 16th century. I am happy to report that we began our project at the Archives of the Confraternity of Charity in May, 2017. Th e archive resides in a hidden tower within Saint Paul’s Shipwreck Church in Valletta. Th is preliminary work successfully digitized 90 manuscripts, focusing on the registers, account books, and confraternal foundations. More than half the collection remains to be digitized. Our success at the Confraternity of Charity led to greater interest in the Center from other confraternities of Malta, including the Archconfraternity of the Holy Rosary. Th anks to our partners in Malta, we will soon begin digitizing the Archconfraternity of the Holy Rosary as part of the private archive project co-sponsored by the Fondazzjoni Patrimonju Malti.
